Glad to see you already used it for your smaller seedlings. I did here about the leaching issue years back (they had it installed on the kids playground here)...but the story now is they don't have the same problem. So who knows. Also, mine won't be there more than 90 days, by early March I'll remove it.

LOL at the frond cheating! I've read that palmetto are VERY slow growers, and figured I'd have a long white beard before I ever see a real frond, so I had to speed things up LOL. Good info about the houseplant, I'll see if I can get them near a window.
